Recent developments by China (“China thwarts India bid to name Masood terrorist” and ‘World’ – “China blocks Brahmaputra tributary”, both Oct.2) point to an unholy nexus between China and Pakistan. The veto in particular reflects China’s ill-intentions and inability to go beyond tactics that are the hallmark of Pakistan. Terrorism is a global problem and no country can afford to ignore it. China is itself worried about the rise of extremism in parts of its territory. Then why the double standards?
